"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Would downvote if I wanted to go to the computer. Is there proof this wasn't foreign and or anti-American? Regardless, the larger notion is we are an entire community, country and would like to show the collective good and spirit of this community in light of the tragic/evil events. Read Patton Oswalt's statement, it's pretty solid

The people of the United States stand for the rule of law and the democratic principles upon which this country was founded. Terrorism, no matter the source or the political motivation, runs contratry to those ideals. Patriotism, or belief in the principles of our society, has everything to do with our response to the Boston incident.

Also, while this appears to be a homegrown incident, we can't at this point rule out AQAP or other foreign groups. You should straighten your understanding of the political philisophy underpinning our country, as well as your understanding of terrorism generally before you make statements like this.

If you think this country is dedicated to the rule of law or democracy you are delusional. This country is not the center of the world and in no way should be considered the center of moral integrity on this planet. That being said, fuck those who bomb innocent people. May they suffer the same fate that they dealt those defenseless, vulnerable victims in Boston.

was definitely eased up for this thread and the others regarding Boston, but there is a strict no politics rule enforced on the site. The other contrarian posts you've made on the thread seemed to be responding in kind to others, but I think we've hit the limit on what "not political" can be stretched to (not just directed at you). You've gotten your point out, I'd say, but we should all leave it at that.

Why the national anthem? What if the perpetrator of this murder is 'murcan? Then I would be singing "his/her" anthem.....wait, it had to be a mooslim, nevermind, carry on with standard patriotic ritual.

I found this moving and genuine. Which is exactly the opposite of what I feel when I watch the schtick at the United Center before a Blackhawks game. While the cheering of the anthem may have been genuine, spontaneous, heartfelt at the time of the Gulf War in the clip shown above, now it's just an excuse for fans not to respect or sing the national anthem and act like rowdy idiots. Fitting in a city that takes more pride in public drunkenness than any other.
